A University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) professor who was suspended and later reinstated for brusquely rebuffing a request to give Black students leniency on their final exams following the death of George Floyd has filed a lawsuit against the school.
Gordon Klein, who teaches financial analysis, law, and public policy at UCLA, filed a lawsuit Monday claiming that he suffered financially and emotionally because of the incident. Although he retained his position, Klein alleged he was dropped from consulting jobs at law firms and other corporations and that his reputation was tarnished as a result.
Klein discussed his reasons for suing the school with a post on the website "Common Sense with Bari Weiss" and said he was seeking unspecified damages "not only to correct the tortures he had endured but also to protect academic freedom."
He's suing UCLA for breach of contract, violating his privacy and retaliatory discrimination.
